Does anyone know anything about this knife? It's from 2003 and looks like a repro of an older model. ThanksThanks

I believe its a Made in China Buck display knife... it has a cool pin though!

Close, Taiwan.

I have one of those. I don't think it's supposed to be a repro of anything. Just a commemoration of....hunting in Taiwan?

Sort of ugly......WalMart must have been involved.

They hunt in Taiwan? I thought they just ran and hid from the commies.

I think I read it was a 2003 Christmas special at WalMart. I handled one at the flea market about three weeks ago. Had the feel of a really cheap steak knife. Didn't believe it was a real Buck until I came home and looked it up. Asking price was $65. Same dealer sold me a mint Buck 812 Workman for $18..... ;o)

I guess I got a deal for 25.00 then.

You can use it to hack down branches in the back yard or better yet bury it in the back yard and put a note with it for the person who finds it in 50 years. Tell him we were in really bad times. But you paid $25 for it ???

Chalk the $25 up to tuition.
